The Growth-Promoting Properties of Quinic Acid [PDF]
Evidence is accumulating that there is a common metabolic precursor to many of the benzene ring derivatives found in living organisms [1-4]. Recent work by Davis' and Tatum4 indicates that one such precursor is the naturally occurring shikimic acid (Fig.
